Hi All,
I did some analysis of the Ironman Arizona swim, the 2011 1-Hour Postal Swim results, and the 1-Hour Postal Swim world records.
This link includes a chart comparing performance between men and women in those events. www.watergirl.co/.../how-big-gender-gap-swimming.
I'd be interested to hear what you guys have to say on the subject.
... I think the wetsuit thing is a little more tricky, but maybe since participants in Ironman tris are typically very fit the difference in body fat percentage between men and women isn't enough to make much difference. ...
Agree on this. I think top-level Ironman participants are some of the leanest folks around, and they seem to have very similar body proportions as well.
